Running Late this year

Went shooting last Sunday, buying another new stand this weekend along with more nockternalís.Flechin up a new dozen tonight. Also setting up the new trail cam this weekend and hanging up the new stand next week.

I've lined up my new deer transporter, an Old Town Guide 119. Replacing the 30+ year old fiberglass tank of a canoe I have been using. 43 lbs, just under 12' long, should be perfect. Can slide a nice doe right in and paddle her home. Just need a little rain now and then to fill up the river. I hate to drag those suckers 10'. I'm going to have to take a trip up river to do some trimming but it's well worth it come november.
My oldest son's first bow deer was like an old Fred Bear movie. Full moon, found the deer around 9 or 10 PM, my buddy paddled upriver and the two of them floated his deer out. Snow on the ground and the full moon was like being in a lit parking lot. Very cool! If you have access to water, they float out in a canoe alot easier than dragging.
Oh, and we have some acorns this year thankfully, last year not a one. All but 1 of my stands are in Oaks.

Stands are up though some should be replaced (getting old). 1 bow should be good to go, the other just got new threads and is not ready. I am the weak link, have'nt shot but once since last season. I'm not changing anything as far as arrows or heads or bows this year. Just have to start shooting. mid Oct is my opener. I cannot remember not shooting for this long since I started in the mid 70's. Life happens sometimes I guess. I'll be ready.

I still havent pulled mine out...our season went to Oct 1st this year...I doubt i will be ready...

Well we will be having a openner this Friday so Lets hope we can kick the season off right!!!!! Deer have been sighted feeding on the feed lot and now it's up to me to do the rest????? Se you in the photos

I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

I packed me a a few cool ones and sat on the edge of my bean field last night and all I can say is OH BOY OH BOY

I got to move me some stands around and quick like. The pics are crap but there were acoup[le dandy 8 points and a nice tall 6, all look to be at least 2.5 year old bucks. Had a few smaller guy wander out too. All told 21 deer were working on that bean field, the beans are pretty much destoryed.

Well, I said I was all set with broadheads, but I visited Cabelas.
4 Gorrila stands, a Kayak paddle, a decoy sled (deer sled) and a pac of shuttle T locs later...
These T-locs are not what I would call sharp. I can rub my thumb up and down and no worries about getting a cut. They will be, but I got to buy a round or oval steel. WTH, how can they let these BROADHEADS out of the house like this? HELLO, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SHARP!!
